Enjoy Wildwood through the seasons. Autumn sees the colouring of deciduous trees and heralds the start of the camellia season which extends into spring. Spring is also when the large collection of blossom trees, magnolias, wisteria, bulbs and perennials begin to flower. The show continues from late August right through spring. Keep up to date with what's happening at Wildwood garden by following us on Facebook.
